Bharti -Wal-Mart JV under PMO scrutiny

The Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) will now look into the Bharti-Wal-Mart deal, as a response to the concerns raised by the Left parties, soon after the deal was announced. The Commerce Ministry will prepare a detailed note, followed by discussions in the Parliament. The deal, however, received a clean chit from the department of Industrial policy and promotion (DIPP) under which FDI takes place.
